Learners, such as Josh Hunter, who completed the apprenticeship programme with HCUK Training, progressed on to employment as well as achieving prestigious accolades. Josh began his journey as a student at Hull College before progressing to an apprenticeship in Brickwork with local construction company Houltons Ltd. It was during his time as an apprentice Josh entered the WorldSkills competition and has successfully qualified through each round to represent the UK at the WorldSkills final in 2017.

Dan Howard, Managing Director for HCUK Training said, “HCUK Training at Hull College, Goole College and Harrogate College delivers high quality work based learning, technical and vocational training, employability and bespoke skills solutions. We also have a very successful network of delivery partners nationally. The past few years have been incredibly successful for us and by making use of our improved performance management processes as well as the support staff provide to our learners, we are proud to be able to reveal yet another impressive set of success rates.”

“This success has only been achieved thanks to the high quality of training provided by our tutors and delivery partners and the employers we are fortunate to work with, and to be placed as 3rd in the UK for Apprenticeship General Further Education providers is something we are all extremely proud of.”
